1. Estudo translacional sobre a qualidade do cuidado materno em resposta ao estresse neonatal, sua associação com ansiedade na vida adulta e investigação de potenciais mecanismos envolvidos
Introduction: In humans, there is the suggestion that an adverse early life environment is related to the development of anxiety disorders in adulthood. This association could potentially be mediated by stress responses, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and by neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS). This study aimed at proposing an animal model for th

2. Reproductive biology of the harvestman Acutisoma proximum (Arachnida: Opiliones) : alternatives mating strategies among males and maternal care / Biologia reprodutiva do opilião Acutisoma proximum (Arachnida: Opiliones) : estrategias alternativas de acasalamento em machos e cuidado parental em femeas

3. Distribuição diária do comportamento da mosca da fruta Anastrepha zenildae Zucchi, (Diptera: Tephritidae) em laboratório.
The knowledge of Anastrepha zenildae behavioral aspects combined with the biology of Tephritidae may contribute to monitoring and control programs of this fruit fly that is considered as economically important to the Rio Grande do Norte state. In order to characterize the daily activity profile of this species, we studied the behaviors of resting, locomotion

4. Sincronismo comportamental em Boto cinza(Sotalia guianensis)
Synchronism is the efetivation of the same behavior at the same time by two or more individuals. In cetology only from 2000 we verify an increasing of efforts for studies of synchronic behaviors. The synchronism in cetaceans was reported for a variety of contexts, including feeding, socializing, parental care, while resting, traveling and play, during afilli

5. In silico characterization and epigenetic analysis of in vivo and cloned cattle of the homologue region 11p15.5 involved with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome in humans / Caracterização in silico e análise epigenética em bovinos produzidos in vivo e por transferência nuclear da região homóloga à 11p15.5 envolvida com a síndrome de Beckwith-Wiedemann em humanos
Epigenetics is the branch of biology which studies heritable changes in genome function that occur without a change in nucleotide sequence within the DNA. One of the most studied epigenetic process is the DNA methylation, which is associated with several gene regulation mechanisms such as genomic imprinting. This type of regulation is characterized by parent

6. Estrutura social e alo-amamentação de catetos (Tayassu tajacu) em cativeiro / Social structure and allonursing of collared peccaries (Tayassu tajacu) in captivity
The network of relationships established among individuals of a group is called social structure, and may be affected by factors as relatedness and nutritional conditions. Allonursing is an intriguing behavior characterized by the non-parental female nursing of infants. The goals of this study were determine the influence of relatedness and nutritional condi

7. DispersÃo e predaÃÃo de grandes sementes por Sciurus aestuans L. em fragmentos de floresta AtlÃntica montana no Estado do EspÃrito Santo, Brasil
The plantâdispersor interactions influence the adaptive values of plants and animals, acting directly on the reproductive characters of plant species and life histories of animal species. The fruvigory pattern influences the seed shadow patterns of plants, the predation rates by invertebrates and consequently the germination, seedling survival and adult rec

8. Progesterone receptors mediate male aggression toward infants
Neuroendocrine mechanisms that mediate male aggression toward infants are poorly understood. Although testosterone is known to enhance aggression in other social contexts, evidence that it modulates aggression toward infants is equivocal. We have found that male progesterone receptor knockout (PRKO) mice exhibit no infanticidal behavior and little aggression

9. Behavior of hematopoietic stem cells in a large animal.
To study the behavior of hematopoietic stem cells in vivo, we transplanted glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) heterozygous (female Safari) cats with small amounts of autologous marrow. The G6PD phenotypes of erythroid burst-forming units and granulocyte/macrophage colony-forming units were repeatedly assayed for 3.5-6 years after transplantation to tra

10. In vivo and in vitro reactivation impairment of a herpes simplex virus type 1 latency-associated transcript variant in a rabbit eye model.
Many recent studies of latent herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infections within the nervous system have focused on the diploid genes encoding the latency-associated transcripts (LATs). The impaired explant reactivation of LAT variants from mouse trigeminal ganglia has implicated the LATs in the efficiency or speed of the reactivation process (D. A. Leib,

11. The role of upstream U3 sequences in the pathogenesis of simian immunodeficiency virus-induced AIDS in rhesus monkeys.
The nef reading frame overlaps about 70% of the U3 region of the 3' long terminal repeat (LTR) in primate lentiviruses. We investigated the functional role of these overlapping U3 sequences by analyzing the properties of three mutant forms of the pathogenic SIVmac239 clone. In mutant UScon, 90 of 275 bp in the upstream sequences (US) of U3 were changed in a
